cha'DIch

A warrior challenging a ruling of the Klingon High Council was not allowed personal combat. He therefore chose a cha'DIch to fight for him. The person selected as cha'DIch would speak the words "jIlajneS. ghIj qet jaghmeyjaj." ("I accept. May your enemies run with fear.") After being introduced to the council, the cha'DIch was handed a sword in a scabbard to wear.
